Algeria’s troubled CNAN Nord has no ships trading

The last trading ship of Algerian line CNAN Nord has been detained in Antwerp. The 9,500 dwt multipurpose (MPP) ship Sedrata was detained in Belgium over a series of deficiencies, according to Alphaliner.

CNAN Nord has faced severe financial difficulties lately. The line is a subsidiary of state-owned shipowner Groupe Algerien de Transport Maritime (GATMA). CNAN Nord’s seven MPPs have now been detained at ports around the world.
